I'll be disappointed if we have another election. I was hoping after this one I'd be able to go back to just ignoring politics like I usually do. I find the whole thing a terrible bore and only really pay attention during elections like this and we've just had so many in the past couple of years it's been very tedious.

Who would have thought that more fox hunting and gently caress the olds were actually bad platform ideas. Tories really, really have to be grateful for Ruth Davidson right now.

High youth turnout, already seeing some old prunes calling for the voting age to be increased to 25, citing 'lack of real world experience'. Yes Corbyn.

Glasgow Central here. Huge numbers of aghast FB friends in a tailspin about the Tory gains in Scotland. Maybe if they didn't live in an SNP fantasy land where the middle class unionist voters don't exist they might have seen how badly the SNP have hosed the political landscape.

madey posted:What does Labour need to do to get those scottish seats into the fold? Do you think the SNP voters will see that the indyref is miles off now and try not to split the vote again or will it be a battle to bring them over? It's going to be a battle, if Scottish Labour broke away and set themselves as a pro independence party that might win some of us over, but as it is I'm SNP until independence is achieved, and I'm far from alone in that. This result is really a product of realpolitik, the Tories are not really so popular in my view, but I'm in West Dunbartonshire, which returned Martin Docherty to WM again after being strongly Labour (the MSP is Labour's Jackie Bailie still) prior to the referendum. Quite honestly as long as Labour keeps voting with the Tories in Westminster, they don't have much chance.

Quite honestly as long as Labour keeps voting with the Tories in Westminster, they don't have much chance. You're an idiot. Reposting my assessment from the ScotPol thread, because you should at least know why: Someone in the UKMT accused Scottish Labour of treating Scotland like its fiefdom, an appendage to be ignored in policy because it could be counted on for votes anyway. This is essentially true, and it worked for a long time because the SNP were splitting the Scottish Tory vote. But when Sturgeon got her "glorious 56" result on the back of promising to work for Scotland after the Indyref and hoovered up the Labour voters, she made the mistake of doing the same thing. She thought that the overwhelming support her party had in Westminster and Holyrood was her strong mandate to campaign for a second Indyref, even though a failure would bury the issue and the party forever. The Tories in the party didn't want that - they want to rule a kingdom, not a fiefdom - and so they reverted to type. Scottish Labour were still stabbing Corbyn, so the Labour voters didn't want to return home in the same way. So: if you want someone to blame for last night's result, Kezia Dugdale is a good start. But if you want to discuss why the Tories gained seats, it was not the result of Scottish Labour taking votes from the SNP; it was the SNP taking votes from Labour. If Dugdale wasn't poo poo and had managed to recover half the SNP votes in the constituencies taken by the Conservatives, the Tories would not now be able to form a government even with DUP support. But if Sturgeon wasn't poo poo and hadn't unified the right, they wouldn't be able to form a government at all.

They were always on a knife-edge, though. Only Labour's utter annihilation in Scotland in the previous election prevented it being a three-way fight, with good guys split between SNP and Labour, and the evil tories on the other side. In our system, those never work out well for the split votes.

I certainly hope so. didn't happen to previous graduates when the SNP abolished the graduate endowment. only the current lot who hadn't paid yet. maybe you'll get a write off / down of current debt. but a refund of money already paid is going to be a huge bill so hard to get through a budget. especially if they're having to bargain with other parties.

I'd agree, it also meant the fight in Scotland wasn't about Tory policies, it was about indyref and a referendum on Sturgeon, not May.
